Expo Recorder

Audio recorder for your React Native apps 🎙️
This is a wrapper component that implements Expo Audio and features an animated waveform for your recording needs. 💪

Note

This package is mostly subjective and might not fit your use case and/or design.

I will try to make this as generic as possible, but if you want a very customized experience, feel free to copy its code and customize it the way you want. Alternatively, you could submit a PR if you think it will help the general public. See the contributing guide to get started.
